Most excellent point. After Katrina Orleans and Jefferson parishes received FEMA money to rebuild drainage systems and infrastructure.
Jefferson doesn't have drainage problems every time it rains. So who is responsible for Orleans problems?
FEMA did invest a lot in both, but NOLA's drainage problem isn't a small fix. And it hasn't been for a while. It's a multi-billion dollar investment that no one wants to address or even talk about.
The Corps has invested a TON in both parishes, but the NOLA started in the 90's from massive flooding events then. Estimated $1.5B since 1996 to completion from this presentation on the USACE website: https://www.mvn.usace.army.mil/Portals/56/docs/SELA/SELA%20Algiers%20-%20Wall%20to%20Behrman%20Presentation%202019-11-21.pdf?ver=2019-11-22-153907-013
There's maps on here that show they didn't even touch Gentilly or Lakeview in these projects.

The city had an open checkbook after Katrina to fix things with the pumps and streets.
Those idiots slept on a street construction fund for many years and forgot about it & then at the last minute, it was “use it or lose it”,
So then all Of a sudden those 3rd World Banana Republic idiots had the entire city main intersections and streets under construction at one time.
Yeah, I REMEMBER THAT, because I lived in it. A previously minuscule drive became a nightmare for years because those idiots cannot manage anything. I’m done with it, it’s my home, but screw it UNLESS they clean house and stop electing for color and not credentials.
